This email claims that Judy Wallman, a genealogy researcher, discovered Senator Harry Reid had an ancestor who was hanged as a horse thief and bank robber in 1889. It was her great-great uncle Remus Reid. The only picture of him was one of him standing on the gallows just before he was hung and had an inscription on the back describing his crimes, capture, and execution. The eRumor says that Wallman contacted Harry Reid’s office to inquiry about great-great uncle Remus and their response was a sanitized version of his story that was expertly created by Reid’s image-makers.
